The CETLI Graduate Fellowship for Teaching Excellence, awarded annually by the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning Innovation, provides fellows the opportunity to contribute to their peers’ pedagogical development. The fellowship pays a modest stipend that stacks on top of the student’s planning funding for the year.

This fellowship honors Ph.D. students who are dedicated to excellent teaching and is designed to foster conversations to help graduate students develop as teachers. Fellows facilitate teaching workshops in their departments and across the university, observe graduate student teaching and provide feedback, and meet regularly as a group to discuss teaching practices.

Selection of CETLI Graduate Fellows is by nomination only. The Department of English holds an internal competition each spring to determine its nominee. CETLI leadership makes the final selection of their fellows for the upcoming year.
